Academy Silver Gatekeeper

132 – Give, Receive – 3

I almost died. It wasn’t just that, I really almost died.

First of all, Kang Min-seong’s wind had a certain destructive power.

The problem is that I got caught up and ended up in a pile of buildings.

I was almost buried alive, but I was barely able to crawl out.

I barely managed to get up and stop the bleeding from the wound.

I feel like I’m in a daze because I’ve already lost a lot of blood.

For a moment, I thought I just wanted to sleep like this.

Oh, is it true that if you fall asleep you will die?

I don’t want to die. There’s a lot I haven’t done yet, so I can’t die.

So I quickly touched the wound on my leg.

“Keuuuuu!”

Fuck! It hurts so bad! Looking at the pain, it looks like he’s still alive.

As soon as the tingling pain comes, my blurred vision becomes clear again.

I stood up and checked my surroundings before experiencing similar symptoms again.

‘… I’ll be amazed. Even though you wielded something like this, you weren’t S-rank?’

The entire area was literally devastated.

Still, it’s different from before when you could see some buildings.

Now, more than half of those buildings have been blown away, leaving only the skeletons.

I’m sure the association or the government won’t say anything about this later.

If that’s really the case, I’ll just have to accuse Elder of doing it.

Just because the bad guys did it, you can’t say anything to the good guys!

Passu!—

At this time, I heard the sound of something collapsing in front.

I ran straight there and saw Hyun Soo-jin coming out of the wreckage, as expected, in disarray.

“Turn it off…”

Holding the middle-aged man in the suit in one hand.

“Cluck, cluck!”

Hyun Soo-jin coughs harshly a few times and then vomits blood.

It looks like the blow was landed just a moment ago. My prediction was correct.

In order to secure that man, he took on the role of a shield.

He quietly approached Hyeon Su-jin while holding his sword.

Did he sense my presence his? She turns her body to look at me.

“… “I lived.”

“That’s what I wanted to say, but it’s a little strange if you say it.”

“Because I wrote that anyway. ‘Storm’. Kang Min-seong, even that old man was having a hard time coping. Not only the enemy but also the area itself is in the area of influence. “You knew it too.”

Holy shit. Was it something like that? No, Chairman Kang Min-seong?

Shouldn’t we have told you about those precautions a long time ago?

It’s a range attack, but it’s a range attack that even eats up the caster.

‘This is a complete suicide plan.’

Why do they say that students and children failed to write?

While writing this, I immediately understood that Kang Min-seong himself was not S-rank.

Because power that cannot be handled can never become perfect power.

“… What. Judging from the expression on his face, it seems like he didn’t know.”

If I say I didn’t know, they’ll laugh at me. Let’s assume that we already knew.

There will be a lot to discuss when we visit our chairman later.

“Cough! Cough!”

Hyun Soo-jin coughs and spits out blood once again.

Me too, but the situation over there seems to be more messed up.

It is not normal for blood to flow back, whether hemoptysis or hemoptysis.

“Baek Seo-jin.”

I was just about to think about whether I should finish it.

Hyun Soo-jin parted her lips in a voice full of fatigue.

“Did you notice? “I couldn’t defend myself because I was rescuing this bastard.”

“… Yes. It was visible. “It’s an urgency I’ve never seen before in you.”

“Okay? I’m all dead too. “I can’t believe Hyun Soo-jin of the world is about to be robbed by a novice like this.”

Hyun Soo-jin, who was laughing, suddenly grabbed the man by the collar.

He doesn’t seem to have come to his senses yet, but anger is burning in his eyes as he looks at him.

“You’re probably thinking of knocking me out here.”

“Yes.”

“So that I can’t go on a rampage anymore.”

“I guess so.”

My injury is serious, but Hyun Soo-jin’s injury is even worse.

There is also luggage that must be taken with you.

She knows that it won’t be easy to get away from me.

Most of the shadows around her also disappeared.

This probably means that there is no strength left to unfold that huge curtain.

I feel sorry for Hyun Soo-jin, but it has to stop now.

The world no longer has the energy or time to devote to villains.

When the cataclysm begins in earnest, the gates and monsters alone are too much.

Before that, the enemy must be reduced even a little.

“You. Do you know who this bastard is?”

Hyun Soo-jin suddenly grabs the unconscious man who was in her hands.

I answered her question right away without hesitation.

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t know.”

“Yes.”

How do I know? This is the first time I’m seeing this guy.

As she quietly looked at her current friend, she smiled again.

“It’s one of the convenience stores I was looking for. Of those damn experiments, one of the very few. There are only a few top leaders left. “They are trash who live happily while burying all their evil deeds.”

“Is that so?”

“You shouldn’t just say it so easily and quit. He’s the one who conducted that damnable experiment. “It’s trash that gives orders from behind and then blames everything on those below it and erases it.”

According to Hyun Soo-jin, her fiancé and I were also subjects of that experiment.

An experiment conducted solely for profit, completely ignoring bioethics.

It was said that most people died in the process and the experiment ended in failure.

And those who barely survived did not live long and ended their lives miserably.

Only one. Except me.

“So, what are you saying?”

“… Are you not even angry? They are the devils who threw you into this world with nothing. It’s these guys who gave us a hell with no dreams or hope, so that we could just die while being used!”

I couldn’t give a definite answer to those angry words.

Are you angry? Of course it flies. It is true that I committed a heinous act.

But that’s it. There is no reason to turn to revenge.

Hyun Soo-jin, I may feel a little sorry for that woman.

I can’t just hate everything when I don’t remember anything right now.

I deserve to be punished, but I don’t want to destroy myself like that.

“Aha. I can tell by looking at those eyes. I don’t have any particular thoughts, right? Because in your memory, I have never done any harm to you. Because you survived and gained strength? Is that it? Seriously? “

I couldn’t answer. Maybe, it could be so.

What more can I say with a faint desire for revenge?

“You’re saying it doesn’t matter because you’re living well?! Those who were with you died miserably! “I’m alive, I’m living well, so you’re just going to forget me?”

Hyun Soo-jin is so angry that she bursts into tears and vomits blood.

It looked very pitiful and pitiful.

A person who could not endure without taking revenge. A person who became a monster because he couldn’t forget.

“… Mr. Hyun Soo-jin.”

But I decided to tell her the truth as it is.

“Your revenge is the life you chose.” In that way, many innocent people were killed and injured. And what you are talking about now is ‘my life’. Whether I take revenge or not is my decision and my life. “You have no right to say anything.”

Okay. That woman doesn’t have that qualification.

Even if I can scream in anger at my decisions and my choices.

You can’t push me like that and evaluate me.

“This is the minimum courtesy for my life.”

Hyun Soo-jin bites her lip at my answer.

Then, he lifted up the man in his hand and said.

“I have some news. That research can be done again.”

“… “What?”

“Up until now, there was no reason to proceed any further. But the world has changed. The gate ignores the suppressor and explodes, and the monster suddenly becomes stronger, threatening those with special abilities. In that situation, these bastards began to show little by little interest in that cursed research again.”

It was shocking content. You’re going to do that crazy thing again.

It was said that there could be another victim like me and Hyun Soo-jin’s fiancé.

“… “Really?”

“You don’t have to believe it if you don’t want to believe it. But know this. I swear to heaven that I have never lied to anyone or anything about that damned thing.”

It didn’t seem like he was telling a lie. I had that feeling.

“Get out of the way.”

I thought I heard wrong. Get out of the way, not just get out of the way.

The Elder, once the most powerful person in the S class, is asking for a favor.

When I unconsciously asked back, ‘Yes?’, Hyun Soo-jin continued.

“Please get out of the way. I must take revenge as best as I can, starting with this bastard. That research will never be conducted again. “I will judge everyone involved with him.”

“…”

I couldn’t move because of her words. Without letting her go

Also, they were unable to take action to capture him by force.

“Just in case, don’t even think about saying something like that. Revenge is not the right thing to do. They deserve to be punished by the law. Don’t talk such bullshit. Because it’s disgusting.”

After hearing that, I wordlessly strengthened the hand holding the sword.

Hyun Soo-jin must have noticed this and looks at me with a grin.

“You really want to do that? Saying that you will stop revenge, that you deserve to be judged by the law…”

“No.”

It wasn’t long, but I was active in public office.

And I know very well how corrupt the system is.

Even the most sacred law was broken at some point.

So, I don’t have such pure faith.

What is the judgment of the law? I’ll probably get some probation.

“That revenge you talk so much about. They told me to do it. That’s why I’m trying to do it.”

“What are you talking about…”

“People who died and were injured because of you. Students at the academy. Innocent people. Let’s call it revenge for them. Well, the blade of revenge may not be as sharp as yours.”

Having said that, I slashed my sword without hesitation any longer.

*

“…”

The clash of forces coming from the other side has completely subsided.

It looks like Irina’s side is over now. Oh, why didn’t you go help?

Even if you leave in this state, it will only be a burden. It’s better to cheer here.

“Tskcha.”

I stood up. Then he roughly gathered up the sword and returned it to his bosom.

Then, I slowly turned my head and looked at where Hyun Soo-jin was.

If you asked me to tell you about what happened today, I wouldn’t say it like this.

– Engage with Elder Hyun Su-jin. As a result of the battle, each was seriously injured. They chased him, but the Elder
